I know cowfish and trunkfish are not exactly uncommon, but this one was wierd. Totaly unafraid of us (I flipped my hand around close enough to touch it) and swimming vertically. Can anybody explain why it would do this?
Weird cowfish behavior...

It's Love....Great video....
OP
LOL I guess it might have been, especially if it was a male, since the only time it swam normally was when Sue started to swim away and it chased her.
Good thing I'm secure.
I've seen fish get in a vertical position like that when they are wanting cleaner fish to come clean them. In the begining of the video it looked like there were some smaller fish around... so it may have been a cleaning station. Just a guess....

Such an amazing video. Most surprising is at the end, where it actually seems to be swimming intentionally close to (following?) your wife... like it's curious.
